eXXon posted:https://twitter.com/BuffaloSabres/status/1631070638457643011 This is a good trade, Portillo didn’t want to sign with Buffalo anyway. He’s going to graduate college this year so he’ll still require another few years to develop. Sabres have Devon Levi coming down the pipeline so that third rounder is more valuable right now. They still kinda need to fix their goaltending situation right now, Kevin Weekes tweeted rumors that they are shopping UPL which doesn’t make sense to me. They need someone to play in a tandem with UPL and Anderson can’t play too often or he turns into a pumpkin like last night. Eric Comrie is bad and probably has no trade value, would be cool if they could dump him for someone decent but they probably won’t be able to.

Dorion’s spending all of the Sens firsts but I don’t really care? DeBrincat is better than what they would have picked with the 7OA, Chychrun is better than what they’ll get with the 10th-15th OA this year, they’ve already got their top 6 forwards and top 4 D locked up for the next 4-8 years, and they’ve got maybe 2 years left of Giroux playing at an elite level. Even if they’re outside of the playoffs right now, their contention window starts next year with Norris back and Stutzle entering his prime.

Man the thing that had me sick about the Stars potentially grabbing Chychrun was I thought for sure they'd have to give up one of their blue chip prospects.. I guess not (though the Stars don't have a 1st round pick in 2023 to trade so I guess it wasn't happening anyway). Chychrun was the only player out there that I was really concerned about dropping the likes of Thomas Harley or Mavrik Bourque on, so I'm happy in a way that's off the table now and hopefully the Stars can roll forward with their system intact.

OTT 1st is a reasonable gamble since it could end up #10-15 or ??? next year if they get a WC spot but the 'yotes were supposed to be asking for a lot more on top of that besides a couple of 2nds.

I am getting a little panicky that the Penguins really are about to trade for Tyler Myers. The Canucks suddenly acquiring a RD for no apparent reason has made my blood pressure spike

I still think Hextall will get something done but Chychrun was what I really wanted if we were going to be shelling out high picks and prospects. Unfortunate.

However! The first result was one of those thousands of identical celebrity creeping info websites and it said his girlfriend is Sarah who is an Instagram influencer. This is not relevant to anything. Secondly, throwing shade at QMJHL names when the WHL and the Wiesblatts exist? Finally, please report to CanPol for your mandatory Franco-Canadian sensitivity training course.

Wippersnapper posted:Being a Canucks fan is an emotional rollercoaster. Just today I told someone how happy I was that they finally seemed to be embracing being bad but hey uhh… He's an offensive 2nd pairing guy who will no longer be a first pp unit guy in Vancouver who is weak defensively. He's a 2nd unit PKer on an average PK team. He's a poor possession player and generally tries to lead the breakout, so you can't really pair him with Hughes. Other than the incredibly facile "he shoots right" what niche does he fill? So does Tyler Myers and Ethan Bear. He's far closer to them in talent than Hughes. His numbers are going to fall off a cliff in Vancouver, but because of past production they'll sign him to a 6x$6.75m extension this summer. He doesn't pair well with Hughes on paper at all, so once again we have another middle pairing guy making too much money without a clear role. What they want is Erik Cernak who, while similar on paper, is actually good and fills a real need. What they got is Damon Severson. This reeks of Canucks management seeing him having strong games in those back to backs against the Canucks last month and thinking "there's our solution!" Allvin made a huge point about trading Horvat for the highest first round he could get, then unloaded it immediately without even knowing what it became. Why didn't he just take the best package if he didn't intend to keep the pick? Raty clearly sucks so he can't have been the centerpiece or christ our pro scouting is worse than I thought. What is the direction of this drat team because I don't think anyone knows anymore.
